Story
Perched on the high hills of Çaycuma, Filyos Castle is a historic defensive structure that has stood guard over the Black Sea for centuries. Its architectural layers, spanning from the Byzantine to the Ottoman era, bear the traces of different civilizations. Its stone walls and towers reveal the importance of a strategic location that allowed control over maritime trade. The thick, reconstructed ramparts tell of how resiliently the region withstood past attacks. During the Ottoman period, Filyos became an important stronghold reinforced to protect the Black Sea coast. While the panoramic view of the Black Sea seen from the towers enchants visitors, the structure also opens a window onto the region's cultural heritage. A must-see stop on any trip to Çaycuma, this castle offers a perfect blend of history and nature.
